So on my shopping trip to Trader Joe’s, I decided I really
wanted to roast a pumpkin. Yah—I know odd realization. But, I did it. I bought
a cute little pumpkin and roasted that baby up! I used a bit of olive oil and a
lot of cinnamon! I also de-seeded the pumpkin and roasted the seeds. They
actually came out amazingly crunchy and tasty simply with a sprinkle of salt.
They were far superior to store bought.
Recipe
1 pumpkin
Cinnamon
Tiny drizzle of olive oil
1. De-seed and stick the pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet
with a sprinkle of salt
2. Cut the pumpkin into smaller chunks, and drizzle with
olive oil and cinnamon.
3. Bake at 350 until soft.
But, wait, we’re not done yet! So for a tiny pumpkin, it was
still too large for one or even two dinners! So, it was time to get creative.
Store bought pumpkin puree…pshtt…I’ll just make my own! Simply take your
blender and your pumpkin. You’ll be ready to go. I went ahead and blended the
outside of the pumpkin which gave the puree a nice nutty flavor. I also added
some maple syrup and an extra bit of sugar. Then I stuck it in the pan to warm
and cream up a bit! It turned out fabulously! I just ate this plain. It was
delish!!!!!
Recipe
After you’ve completed the first recipe, blend that baby
with some maple syrup and sugar. Cook in pan. Easy peasy delicious.
